Boys & Girls Clubs of Springfield - Musgrave Unit

★★★★★NeNe

Outstanding staff and fun atmosphere

★★★★★Dlynn Hager

We have had a wonderful experience here, from teachers to sports. They communicate well and offer a lot of great programs for my kids.

I gotta say I was really leary of my children participating with this organization only because of my own childhood. I decided to take the leap and sign my gang up for baseball with coach Kit. I figured this way if I decided the club wasnt a good fit for our family we could easily back out. That was only the beginning of what I now call the coaches and staff a part of our village. My children absolutely love it where they are! They are thriving, and this single mama is way less stressed and spread thin. They get fed a full dinner, help with homework if need be, and educated on drug awareness, how to handle conflict, and much much more. Coach Kit (God love him) genuinely cares for his kids and shows interest in their future. They are a great support system and I'm so glad to have met all of them. Truly.

My kids have gone to Boys and Girls Club their whole lives. They have had the best experiences their. Great socialization and friend making a long with learning stuff they'll be able to use in adulthood. Musgrave is an older club but it's a nice one with tons of room for the kids to play and interact while being safe.

I highly advise any and all parents to consider choosing an alternative location other than the Musgrave unit for their children. The leadership at this unit can be described as cold and rigid, attributed primarily to the Program Director and Unit Director (Kayla Baker and Steve Wallace, respectively). Kayla in particular has shown an unwillingness to efficiently problem-solve with her staff and instead resolves to petty and unprofessional comments, unrealistic expectations for her employees (many of whom are college students with schoolwork and obligations other than the Club), as well as destructive criticism aimed at the staff watching over your kids (who, in addition, are not provided any breaks other than to use the restroom). Kayla and Steve have also been known to spitefully deny resigning employees the opportunity to work out the rest of their two weeks without providing any explanation as to why. I urge all parents to consider a different location or childcare option rather than subject their children to a Club which treats its employees as expendable.
